We have been booked all month with birthday parties, graduation parties & weddings. I am spent in energy and funding. Exhausted I tell ya.

Can I share a tip with you, teach the kids…YMCA and Cupid Shuffle when you get the invitations, that way they will be ready when it’s time to hit the dance floor. HA! I’m kidding, either way they will have a great time just being with family and friends.

We are all done for now, whew! So this week it’s all about the grill and the sauce, can’t hardly wait. Hope you’re enjoying Summer, cause I know I am.

You cannot even tell me I’m not bad @ss in my fancy schmancy $15 dollar Target brand aviators. Luv these glasses (picture taken with the new iphone, I must say, I’m impressed, it doesn’t make the shutter sound, I took this at my work desk).

A few years ago, when I learned that youtube.com was the #2 search engine, I went straight there for information on natural hair. At this time, I just wanted help growing out Kya’s.

And there it was there I found my hair future.

Here are MY favorites hair tubers:

Rustic Beauty!

I luv her voice. No silly, not the voice that she uses to speak, but her informative, no holds barred, tell you every detail to help you succeed voice. I just had the feeling that she was there to help. I also love that she keeps it basic and isn’t too product crazy.

Janeezy01

She hasn’t made a video in a hot minute. But she has done a crapload on twists and styles. Also keeps it very basic, missing her.

And for all the PJ’s out there:

Coilskinkscurls

Meet Mo. She tries everything and report backs! She would give every single detail in a product (I don’t luv that part) but I do like that she explains her layering processes, how she maintains her styles, etc.

And of course…there is Kimmay.

While, I don’t always luv her voice. She don’t gots a 60K following for nothing, she found a potion that works for her and lots of others. I find her educational tutorials very informative and hopes she doesn’t stop making videos.

Yay for youtube. Yay for all the ladies who make vids to support Natural Hair. Yay for the internet. Yay for you.

Please share with me your favorite tuber and why, I’m all ears or is it eyes?

I personally work better with organized spaces and a LIST, if my purse looks like that, my time and money are both gone. wasted. done. kaput. fugetaboutit. I burn through time and money if I don’t have a plan.

I trytrytry to make a list for myself so I can GET ‘ER DONE. I like to set goals for myself, daily, weekly, monthly, annually. Must.have.goals.

My Dad was a stickler for education – wanted us to have as much as we could afford.

There wasn’t any driving us around to sporting games or fishing or camping or bbq’s or golf, so it’s pretty hard to get him the generic card. But he’s the best cheerleader a girl could ask for. Hooray for good Dad’s.

I have two sisters. I’m the oldest (and sweetest and funniest and the cutest), ok maybe not the funniest.

Anyhoo, the youngest (now 22) lived with me for 9 years or so, until she turned 19 and in her own words was “grown”. But recently, she and my middle sister have had enough of each other, then her car died and now Sheeeeee’s Baaaaack. I kinda think it was meant to be, she was offered a job today (and God knows she needs it).

I’ve got mixed feelings about the whole situation, mostly cause we’re all so comfy in our own spaces. But we are also fortunate to have a home we can share. However, you know the rules, 2 women can rarely live together for long, pray for us :)

Trust me, I considered telling her to beat it -- woMAN UP and to get her own! But you do remember what happened to Prince Adam in Beauty and the Beast…

I like my appearance as is – so that door was opened.

So there you have it. We may have a new face in the photos round here. And maybe she’ll even let me play in her hair, cause it’s screaming for some luv. She flat irons it on high A LOT and it stinks, I sooooo don’t miss that smell.
